ST1300 Cover

[Tony M]

Just wondering if anyone can suggest a good cover for a ST1300. My last one, all be it was on its last legs, was not a match for hurricane Dorian. The cover got ripped to shreds. We were riding out east on the Cabot Trial during its passing over. What a storm. Thanks.

Because I have to cover my bike at work, minutes after getting here, I have been using the Nelson-Rigg UV-2000-XL.

I have been using these covers on my V65 Sabre, before my first ST1300.

+1 This is what I use as well. It's a stout cover that folds into a little compression case for travel. I don't know what bike cover would be hurricane rated short of a bunker.

That’s my cover of choice as well. Comes with a drawstring pouch about the size of a CFL football ( our balls are bigger)

I have large Dowco Guardian WeatherAll Plus covers on both my ST1100 and my CB750ST:

I have an Ex your that I would sell for $60 including shipping. Fit ST1300 with Dutch oven.

Nelson-Rigg in XL has served me well over the years. I run two bungee cords through the four grommets to secure it.

I like this one.
Half cover protects the seat and dash stuff, but seems to dry faster in the morning.
Fits the ST like it was made for it.

I use the XL on mine. I do have a GIVI top box and I feel the fit is perfect.

Thanks Cybervet. I've been wanting to order a cover but never knew what size to get.

 

[Highway STar]

I use the Nelson-Rigg but I had to get the XXL to fit over the Givi 52 top box on my 1300. Even that is snug. But it goes on hot pipes no problem.

Would buy another if need arose.

I made my own for the Victory out of a two-man tent. Works like a charm and got the tent from a friend for free and the wife helped me with a little sewing- machine magic. You can't beat that!

I use the N-R half cover too. Like it a lot.

Just to close this thread I ended up purchasing the Nelson-Rigg Deluxe All Season cover. I did try out the Nelson-Rigg Defender Extreme Motorcycle cover but found it to be too heavy of a cover. My motorcycle does have a home in the garage so having the heavier cover did not really make sense. That would be the cover of choice if the bike was outside in the elements during all 4 seasons. The All Season cover is only water-resistant and not waterproof which works for me as I only need the cover when on a road trip. This cover also packs into a small supplied bag.

One thing I did struggle with was the cover sizing. The measurements supplied were under sized. I ended up having to get the 2X size for the 1300.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

Braggart!

I orderd one from Honda made for the st1300 very good quality. I think you can still get them.

I too have tried many different cover makes, cheap & expensive, my last Nelson-Riggs didn’t impress me much! Most, in my opinion; are just dust covers that don’t last outdoors! Not sure what to buy!
